Are downstream dependencies rebuilt when a package is updated on CRAN?
I was wondering: are the downstream dependencies of a package rebuilt
when a package is updated on CRAN? (I'm referring to the binary
packages, of course.)
The reason I ask is because there are cases where this can cause
problems. Suppose that when pkgB is built, it calls
pkgA::makeClosure(), which returns a closure that refers to a function
in pkgA. Suppose this code is in pkgA 1.0:
makeClosure <- function() {
function() {
funA()
}
}
funA <- function() "funA was called!"
And this is the code in pkgB:
foo <- pkgA::makeClosure()
After building and instal...
